We performed a comparison between Board and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."
"The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution."
"All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and the charts. The reporting functionality is handy for aggregation, when it comes to planning. That ability is fascinating and our users are very happy with it. The charts and the reporting allow our users to see all the data and to see how things are going this year or in the COVID situation. They're seeing everything. Instead of having to check data line by line, they're seeing it in a graph and they're seeing it in charts."
"All the reports are prepared automatically."
"What is very valuable is the ability to customize. We didn't see a solution out there that really matched exactly what our functional requirements would be. So we were able to work with New Brain, our integrator, and we were able to build from the ground up what we wanted, and I think that's pretty unique to BOARD."
"We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"I work for clients. That is my business model. Business people really like to see Tableau. They love Tableau because it is very user-friendly. The platform provides an easy to use interface, which is what most people like about it."
"It has a shallow learning curve and so you can go to market very, very, very quickly."
"The best part about Tableau is the visualization."
"It is very good for data visualization. It has very powerful visualizations and is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the visualizations, the way they show the combination charts."
"Tableau has many different connectors for different databases. It's very easy to connect to MySQL, SQL Server, Amazon EMR, Presto, Redshift, BigQuery, and so on."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the permission management and the user management."
"It is an excellent tool for data capture, processing, and visualization."
"The initial setup was very complex for us."
"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print. It's fantastic to have all of these graphic visualization of data, but we're not able to very easily just print... From my perspective, if you can have a little "print" button and then you just click it and it would produce what's on the screen, that would be very helpful."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers that aren't particularly technical."
"My analysts have used the technical support. Sometimes they have felt like they did not receive the answer that they needed, or you have to go and upgrade in order to address a problem. "
"Some of our users are still using an MS Office add-in for Excel for certain calculations, and when they export from Board, some of the values, some of the totals and column names, are not coming through into Excel."
"I would like to see a better Web client, where the controls work the same way as in the Windows client. I do think that the focus is now on the Web, so it should be improved upon."
"It needs more export to Excel functionality. Right now, we're having to build within the cloud-based platform, as well as build within the Excel add-in, because the export to Excel is somewhat ugly."
"The Hyper Extract functionality is not as strong as that provided by Microsoft SQL."
"In the cloud sometimes the performance is a little bit slow."
"Whenever it comes to specialized visualization, Tableau is an absolute failure."
"The development part should be better. We are putting a lot of effort in during development, so if we face any struggles, we have to find workaround solutions on the internet."
"An area needing improvement involves the complexity of the product should you need to alter a lot of parameters. If you have technical servers, much interface, different providers and more serious processes, that will be time consuming."
"It would be nice to include more features on each dashboard."
"Some of our clients are looking for better UI when using Tableau as they often work with this solution directly."
"Tableau has so many functions, so sometimes it's hard to find the right solution quickly. I have to search multiple menu bars to find the right command."
